Getting a degree shows commitment to a specific goal and is a requirement for a worth while career. The classes are irrelevant.

To get a degree shows that you are dedicated and qualified to do a job in that field of study. To have a degree shows that you were dedicated.

The point is for you to determine. Degrees are not necessarily just about jobs. And even if you don't work in an obviously-related field, what you achieved in earning that degree you may use in a hundred ways you aren't even conscious of.

I don't know if you just realised this amidst spending years just to get a degree. If you've already embarked on that journey, it's best to consider why you even wanted to take one. Was it an ambition? If so, what happened to it? But... if you're positive that getting this degree is nothing more than a waste of time and money and you'd rather use it on getting certifications that would enable you to improve yourself/pursue a career you'd prefer. I'd say go for it. I know of so many hard-working individuals that are happier and earn more than average with just a diploma, I'm sure you can be one of them. Work smart and persevere!

A degree. You'll get degree privilege. A title that ensure your credibility.even though you know it wasn't related to what your going to pursue. Its still a title.

Though right now it may seem like you will never use the degree, the degree may become useful in the future for a job opportunity that may become interesting and available to you. And though things may look unappealing now, everybody's perspective changes as they grow and mature.

The sad truth as determined by sociologists is that you're going to college not to learn from your classes (unless it's some kind of practical program like nursing or engineering) but to make contacts with a certain class of people and learn (or solidify your knowledge of) the language & habits of that class. So schmooze, schmooze, schmooze!

Its up to you whether you want a degree or not, it is your life. In all honesty the choice is really yours, I understand what you're saying.
